I have, and it was the most beautiful yet the most hurtful time I have ever had. She is still in my thoughts daily, but at the end of the day, although she had and still has my soul, because of her situation, she gave me nothing at all in return. After a year of allowing this, my self-respect made me walk away.

There are many good authors here, even some great ones, but AvrgBlkGrl is one of the most incredible authors that I have ever read. She will take you on a trip and destroy your soul over and over again.

Well at first I was outraged at this. Marmite banned???? I mean we have been to war for less of an insult.

I do have a close Canadian friend (Who I somehow still like, even though she thinks the stuff is horrible... (We all have to have bad taste somewhere. (Mine is actually liking Barry Manilow....but hey ho))) and despite the ban, after serious thought, I decided that our friendship can survive this.

Anyhow, I digress,

The more I think about it, The more I like the idea.I think that more countries should ban it.My reasoning is this....Why the hell should we let any other country sample the finest taste on the face of the planet. In olden days the original holy grail was probably a jar of Marmite....It was only when that idiot Mallory tried to romanticise it that it became the blood of Christ...(personally I think the taste of Marmite is probably better than drinking the blood of Christ..I mean ewwwww). King Arthur probably supped some yeast from the top of a vat of beer and thought that all of his Christmases had come at once..(And yes...that is how it is made...I work next door to the brewery that they take it from).

Marmite is as English as the Mini used to be....(And look what happened to that when we let the Germans sample THAT delight. They bought the company, and turned England's most iconic car into a glorified shopping trolley ...And Rolls Royce as well come to think of it).

It is as English as the Queen and Fish and Chips....it is part of our National Identity.

Many Countries have tried to imitate it...(Yes I do love Australia, but Vegemite??...Seriously!!!...It is like comparing a bottle of Dom Perignon to Asti Spumanti)

The other problem with exporting it, is that it automatically makes the price on domestic soil increase.....(Look at whiskey....The Americans pay half the price for what was made on our fair isle....albeit in Scotland). I shudder to think of that happening in that case.

I may be a little biased as I am a full member of the Marmariti, but I want to shout it from the rooftops "Keep Marmite English!!!!"
